Insulation Services Before & After Photos

This customer in Suffield, CT called us out to help them with a problem they were having in their home. The problem was that they were having trouble keeping the room above their garage warm in the winter. Old fiberglass insulation leaves too much space for air to circulate around them, eliminating the R-value and making the room above cold and drafty in the winter. 

To fix this we have to add more insulation into the garage ceiling. First we must drill holes in the garage ceiling. We need to do this in order to have somewhere to insert and dense pack our TruSoft cellulose insulation. That brings us to our next step. We take a flexible long dense pack hose and insert it all the way into the ceiling and across the top to fill in any space. Then we start dense packing with out TruSoft cellulose insulation. This will crush and condense the insulation previously in the ceilings and increases the insulation value. This density also stops airflow through the floor from air leaks. Thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions this customer is now comfortable in their room above the garage all year long!

This homeowner in Suffield, CT called us during the home building process. They were preparing to move in and noticed that the home was not fully insulated yet. She wanted to ensure that it was properly insulated before they moved in. 

We had the perfect solution for this customer. We utilized our RockWool batting. We first had to add metal insulation support rods so that we could hold the insulation up effectively. After that, we added our RockWool insulation. This insulation is a fireproof mineral fiber. Now, the homeowner is excited to have a properly insulated basement!

This homeowner in Suffield, CT called us out to their home because they were having some cold floor and humidity concerns. During our Home Energy Evaluation we noticed they had a dirt crawl space. In the winter, crawlspaces let a lot of cold air into your home, and with little to no insulation, your home is not protected from that harsh outdoor air. As you can see in the photo, there was some rim joist insulation, but not enough. Crawlspaces are known to be a very moist area, with lots of humidity issues, especially in the summer.

Time for our treatment! We first lay down our plastic dimple drainage mat across the floor. Next, our Terrablock insulation boards are installed on top of the drainage mat. Finally, we use our 20 mil thick encapsulation liner across the floor and seal it with special tape, fasteners, and spikes as needed. This liner contains anti-microbial ingredients to fight off any potential mold, and allergens! Now, thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by Eco Energy Solutions, this home is more comfortable, happy, and energy efficient!

This homeowner in Suffield, CT called us hoping that we would be able to insulate his crawl space and add a vapor barrier. He had an older home (built in the 1850s) with a very tight crawl space. In the winter, vents let cold air directly into the home. Floor insulation sags away from the subfloor and the cold air gets above it - rendering the insulation useless. In the summer the vents let warm humid air in which is cooled by the subterranean crawl space. This caused the relative humidity to go way up and condensation to form all over the crawl space surfaces including floor joists and ducts. Mold grows and wood rots, while insect and other pests flourish. Musty odors can be noticed upstairs as mold spores travel upwards into the living space. Eventually rotted floor joist must be replaced and mold must be remediated. An unending stream of water vapor comes up from the ground adding to the moisture load in the crawl space and house. The damp air is harder to heat and cool. Result - condensation, mold, rot, pests and odors, cold floors, drafts, uncomfortable home, higher fuel and electric bills.

We had the perfect solution for this customer -- the CleanSpace™ encapsulation system! The crawl space walls are insulated with SilverGlo™ insulation with a reflective radiant barrier face. SilverGlo™ foam has graphite infused into the foam to increase the R-value by 24% over standard EPS foam. Then a dimpled plastic drainage matting is installed on the floor to create an airspace and thermal break between the CleanSpace and earth. Finally the heavy duty, 20 mil thick CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation liner is installed permanently across the dirt floor - sealed with mechanical fasteners to the walls and spiked to the floor. CleanSpace™ features Ultrafresh™ anti-microbial ingredients in the product. Results - much lower humidity, much warmer floors upstairs, less drafts, more comfortable house, lower fuel and electric bills.

This homeowner in Suffield, CT called us hoping that he would be able to get his crawl space insulated and encapsulated. He knew someone who had theirs done, and it made a big difference for their home. He was excited to get to work on it and knew the products and steps needed already. He knew that his crawl space was causing severe drafts, and had a rodent issue. His floors were also quite cold, his home was humid, and he wanted to be able to fix it.

We were able to help this customer! We utilized our CleanSpace™ crawl space encapuslation system. We started by installing SilverGlo™ foam board insulation to the walls of the crawl space. After that, we laid down dimpled drainage mat. We added our TerraBlock™ floor insulation on top of that. That is followed by installing our CleanSpace™ encapsulation liner. We finished by installing spray foam on the rim joist and over the sill plate. This keeps the humidity low, and the home much better temperature controlled. The homeowner is now excited to spend less on his energy bills and be much more comfortable in his home!
